Canadians Speak Out Against Socialized Medicine II

Canada's public health care system promises universal coverage, but it does not guarantee universal access on a universal schedule. Long wait times force some Canadians living in pain to go out of country rather than wait 6 months to a year and a half for surgery for non-life-threatening conditions. Watch Part II of the Mackinac Center for Public Policy's series on "Canadians Speak Out Against Socialized Medicine."

I lost my career as a pilot with Air Canada because of the serious dangers of socialized Canadian health care. I had to finally turn to the US system to get a diagnosis, which was Celiac disease. This disease is simple to manage, and would have allowed me to continue my career. I can be contacted on my facebook.. facebook.com/keithdodich
